Default Would appreciate feedback on L5/S1 back surgery

Hi, I'm about to have the above listed surgery for spondylolisthesis (L5/S1).
I'm very concerned about the post surgery rehab over the first six weeks. If
anyone has undergone this procedure, please let me know what everyday tasks you were able to do...like..open doors, brush your teeth, showering, opening a milk bottle, putting on socks. Did anyone purchase a powerized recliner chiar to sleep in and avoid any stress on the surgicaly repaired area. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Also, has anyone tried "decompression therapy" for sciatica nerve damage (L5 root) prior to any invasive surgery.
Thanks pap5
